A white friend of mine on Halloween in 1986 dressed up as Mookie Wilson. Nobody complained.
More recently, Al Roker dressed up as Doc Brown, the crazy white guy from Back to the Future. Sure he didn't use white face, but he put on a straight-haired white guy wig.

I once gave two weeks notice to an employer who immediately came to the store, took the keys, informed me that an inventory was going to be done and that I should stay and “help” (unpaid) and that they wanted my permission to search my car and home for merchandise and, if they found any, I would have to produce a receipt showing that I purchased it.
I told them they could shove it up their...
